Now, after years of drama, harassment claims, and courtroom tears – the FINAL lab analysis is out.
Is she the missing girl? Or is there a darker twist involving the McCann family itself? This revelation has left everyone reeling… and asking disturbing questions.
You won’t believe what the DNA really revealed. Full shocking story – scroll NOW 👇

After years of viral claims, courtroom drama, and relentless pursuit of Kate and Gerry McCann, the long-awaited DNA results have once again confirmed that Julia Wandelt — the Polish woman who insisted she was missing British toddler Madeleine McCann — is not the child who vanished from a Portuguese resort in 2007.
Wandelt, now 24 and also known by names including Julia Wendell and Julia Faustyna, first exploded onto the global stage in early 2023 when she launched an Instagram account under the handle @iammadeleinemccann. Posting side-by-side photos highlighting physical similarities — including a rare eye coloboma shared with Madeleine — Wandelt claimed gaps in her childhood memories, alleged abuse, and suspicions about her Polish upbringing pointed to her being the abducted girl.
The saga captivated millions, amassing over a million followers in days. Wandelt pointed to freckles, birthmarks, and what she described as repressed memories of trauma. She even appeared on the U.S. talk show “Dr. Phil,” where she tearfully discussed her convictions and awaited DNA testing.
Initial tests in 2023, facilitated by private investigator and self-proclaimed psychic Dr. Fia Johansson, quickly dashed those hopes. Results showed Wandelt was “absolutely 100 percent from Poland,” with minor Lithuanian and Romanian heritage — no British or German roots that would align with Madeleine’s background. Johansson publicly announced the findings, stating Wandelt was reconnecting with her family.
But Wandelt refused to back down. She apologized to the McCanns in a BBC interview, expressing regret for the pain caused, only to resurface periodically with new “evidence.” By late 2024 and into 2025, her claims evolved. Wandelt alleged fresh DNA analyses — submitted to unnamed “world experts” — suggested partial British and Irish ancestry, and even a biological link to Gerry McCann.
In February 2025 posts on a new account @AmIJuliaWandelt, she shared purported results claiming a “perfect match” to samples from the Praia da Luz crime scene, including hair and saliva. An anonymous source allegedly concluded the data “strongly supports that Gerry McCann could be Julia Wandelt’s biological father,” citing a 69.23% match suggestive of a parent-child relationship.
Experts quickly dismissed these as unreliable. Forensic DNA specialist Suzanna Ryan told media outlets the posted results lacked credibility, appearing manipulated or misinterpreted from consumer ancestry tests rather than forensic comparisons. No reputable lab corroborated the claims, and the McCanns steadfastly refused direct testing, leaving matters to authorities.
The escalation led to legal action. Wandelt bombarded the McCanns with messages, calls, and social media contacts — targeting not just Kate and Gerry but their twins, Sean and Amelie. She obtained phone numbers from leaked Portuguese police files and even showed up unannounced at the family’s Rothley home in Leicestershire in December 2024, posting a letter addressed “Dear Mum.”
Gerry McCann later testified the intrusions “pulled on your heartstrings” but were “damaging” to the ongoing search for their daughter. Kate described feeling “invaded” in her own home.
In February 2025, Wandelt flew into Bristol Airport, where she was arrested on suspicion of stalking. A co-defendant, 61-year-old Karen Spragg from Wales, was detained nearby. Charges followed for stalking and harassment spanning 2024-2025.
The trial at Leicester Crown Court gripped headlines. Prosecutors detailed a “campaign of harassment”: over 60 unanswered calls to Kate, voicemails, Instagram messages, and contacts with family friends and even the local parish priest during a Madeleine vigil.
Wandelt took the stand, breaking down in tears and insisting she was “50-50” on her identity, driven by childhood abuse and a need for answers. She disputed police-contacted DNA results delivered on April 1, 2025 — calling the date “disrespectful” as an April Fool’s prank.
But forensic evidence was unequivocal. A DNA sample taken post-arrest “conclusively proved” she was not Madeleine, jurors heard. On November 7, 2025, Wandelt was convicted of harassing the McCanns but cleared of the more serious stalking charge. Spragg was acquitted entirely.
Sentencing brought a restraining order, with the judge noting Wandelt posed a “significant risk” of future harassment despite her traumatic background. “It has been confirmed in this case you are not Madeleine McCann,” the judge emphasized. “Your constant pestering… was unwarranted.”
Wandelt’s Polish family had long pleaded for her to stop. In statements, they affirmed she was their daughter, providing birth records and photos she allegedly took when leaving home.
The case highlighted the dark side of social media fame. Wandelt, an aspiring singer and model, admitted craving attention. Her parents suggested untreated mental health issues fueled the delusions.
Meanwhile, the real search for Madeleine continues. Now 18 years on, German prosecutors maintain prime suspect Christian Brueckner — a convicted sex offender — abducted and killed her, though no charges have been filed in her case. Brueckner was acquitted of unrelated assaults in 2024 and released from prison.
Kate and Gerry McCann, through their FindMadeleine site, expressed gratitude for ongoing investigations by British, Portuguese, and German police. In a 2024 update, they wrote of hoping “one day we will know,” focusing on justice for their daughter.
The Wandelt saga added pain to an already agonizing ordeal. False claimants have plagued the family before, but none with such viral reach and persistence.
Critics argue consumer DNA kits and online speculation can fuel delusions, while supporters of Wandelt — few as the trial progressed — claimed she was a victim seeking truth.
As 2025 draws to a close, the conviction closes one chapter. Wandelt faces restrictions on contacting the McCanns, who continue their quiet vigil.
Madeleine’s disappearance remains one of the most enduring mysteries. Sightings and tips still trickle in, funded by public donations and occasional government grants.
For the McCanns, the harassment conviction offers some relief amid endless grief. “We have to believe that one day we will know,” they have said.
Wandelt’s story — from viral sensation to convicted harasser — serves as a cautionary tale of obsession, trauma, and the internet’s power to amplify untruths.
Yet questions linger for some online: Why the physical similarities? Why the refusal of direct tests early on?
Authorities insist the science is clear. Julia Wandelt is not — and never was — Madeleine McCann.
The search for the real Maddie goes on.
